Comment 3 Tina Fitzgerald 2019-04-09 18:38:22 UTC

Automate methods are not RBAC enabled by default. 

The Redhat domain vmware_best_placement_with_scope placement method iterates through the hosts and storages and could potentially select a host and/or storage that is not available due to RBAC filtering.
The method does a prov.set_storage on the selected storage, and an error is issued if the storage is not eligible due to the RBAC filtering.

The workaround is to enable/disable RBAC in the placement method as shown in this example:
